Exterior: typical amounts of rock chips and scratches for a vehicle of this year. Hood has faded and could use a respray. Small crack on drivers side corner lamp. Small rock chips in windshield. Deeper scratches on the drivers side rear over fender. No Rust as this Toyota has been in the south since 1997. Aside from the hood the rest of the paint cleans up really nice and paint is in above average condition.

Interior: typical amounts of wear and stains for a vehicle of this year. Trim around sunroof is cracked from my kayak hitting it before I got the Yakima rack. A replacement steering wheel in much better condition is included (not Installed.) Aside from the drivers seat the leather is in very good condition, and I'm not sure but the third row seats many have never been used. Passenger side door speakers are blown.

Mechanical: Great condition with service done at regular intervals. I have been chasing an electrical gremlin for a couple of years to no avail. Intermittently has the diff lock/abs light flicker during acceleration through 1st gear. I've taken it to two local Land Cruiser "experts" and neither found a solution, it does not affect the drive ability.

Despite the salvage title I would say this is an above average Land Cruiser that I wouldn't hesitate to drive cross country. The vin numbers on the engine, frame, and dash all match. Vehicle has always been stock and unmodified until I added the Yakima roof rack and bigger tires to fill out the wheel well. This truck will also come with a Hi-Jack mount kit and exterior light mount kit both from Yakima (neither have been installed.) Will also come with the factory service manual and factory wire manual.
Price is $9500 obo Let me know.

Why is there a NC DMV ID number on the door jamb? Is it because it was stolen? Are you firm on price? Is the electrical gremlin the diff lock and ABS light?
 
Yes the NC DMV ID is on the driver's side door jam. Yes it's because it was salvaged in NY and then sold new in NC. The electrical gremlin does at times include the abs light as well but not always. Price is obo.
 
Can you post more pics of the interior, underside, and maintenance records?
 
The driver's side seat control to move the seat forward and back does not work. It is in the full back position. All other seat controls work as they should.
